Beyond the Gym: Recreational Therapy as a Collaborative Partner in Physical Education
Abstract
Many students, particularly those with disabilities, may lack the ability to successfully transfer the physical and social skills they learned in school to their communities post-graduation. This article suggests that a partnership between physical education and recreational therapy could create a continuum of support that can lead to increased skill acquisition, community application, and lifelong recreation participation.
